ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI- Blessing instruments have been given a heavy amount of focus since joining the St. Louis Music family. For 2016, Blessing proudly unveils their new line of brass instruments, designed specifically for the student and rental markets: The Blessing Standard Series.
“The Blessing Standard Series is perfect for traditional retailers who have any size rental pool,” Says Craig Denny, Vice President – Band & Orchestra at St. Louis Music. “Blessing Standard are offered in-store only, as opposed to online, which is essential for competitive balance.”
Blessing Standard Series offers a full range of brass instruments: Trumpets come in silver-plate and lacquer finishes with a ML .460 bore size and feature Stainless Steel valves and matte finished top and bottom valve caps. A Trombone with a small .500 bore size features chrome plated yellow brass inner and outer slides and a brushed brass bell. Blessing offers a Single and Double French Horn, both featuring a standard bore size, and the double featuring a Kruspe wrap and an unbeatable student price. Blessing’s Baritone completes the series, featuring a small British-style .504 bore with stainless steel pistons.
Denny continues, “We’ve taken every step to ensure the Blessing Standard Series match the quality of the Blessing brand’s reputation. These instruments are sturdy and durable, and sonically they are designed to allow students to get their best sound from the very beginning and be inspired to practice and play more.”
